There's a lot of things, but at the end of the day its marketing, and ensuring you challenge your customers to think about what really matters: 1. You, as a developer, care about open source and want to fund it. 2. You, as a business,

David here from Sentry. Just saw this ended up on HN. Happy to answer any questions about how we approach open source, the business, or anything else about Sentry.

I don't care about Rust or even like it. Armin made a great decision here and I, and everyone else at Sentry back it. Go troll somewhere else.

David from Sentry here. I've got a long history of talking about scale in the python/web ecosystems. I'll echo what some others have said: scale is fundamentally a business metric. If we can do more with less machines it&#x27

this is pretty important here, given that we already have a sourcemap library we built in Rust (for our sentry-cli tool)

I also fail to understand what people find as compelling news on HN :)

Apologies (edited), I meant to suggest that other solutions are generally that. I definitely haven't used Apteligent (or Crittercism), but things like New Relic (which from a glimpse of screenshots, seemed similar), I would label as pa

TrackJS is only JavaScript, whereas Sentry is cross-platform. In many cases a niche single language service works very well, but specifically for Browser JavaScript we go above and beyond most implementations and it's one of our strong

The best way to understand the differences is to try it out. I haven't used either of these tools personally, so my comments are more general. We focus on giving you an extremely rich crash report and day-to-day workflow tools, whereas

We're working on improving this. It's a tradeoff we made early on as our primary customers have always been very large tech companies (meaning lots of errors). In those cases individual events have little to no meaning, and what y

Huge props to GitLab. Definitely ahead of us organizationally, but one of the few companies that I pay attention to in the space that seems to be similarly aligned.

David here, founder, CEO, and extremely stubborn with my perspective. To echo what Armin and others are saying, we're going to prove that you can build a company around an open source product without turning it into crippleware. There

Our goal is definitely to decouple the frontend from the backend (entirely). We're still a ways out from that, but we've made a lot of progress.

There's not. The primary reason is that Sentry doesnt really match up well to traditional logging. A lot of we do involves highly structured data, and simply wouldn't be usable without that. It helps to think of Sentry more like c

Same goals, different approach. Our JS support is extremely mature at this point and you'll find that out of the box we'll do a great job at catching errors in your application. In many situations you won't even need to do an

Of note, we're actively hiring someone to come help us expand our mobile offering. If you're in SF (or interested in being) and like what we're doing, take a peek: https://www.getsentry.com/jobs/00790FFCE

We're always looking to expand the team, though our team is small so we may not always have open roles. That said feel free to throw your hat into the ring: https://www.getsentry.com/jobs/

We always recommend reviewing the CHANGES, but if you're already on 7.x it should be mostly painless. You can't install via standard channels yet (effectively you need to install from GitHub), but otherwise there's no major c

That's an interesting idea. We're Datadog users and one behavior I like is that, while they have a fancy way to build the charts, you can simply click an advanced mode and grab the full JSON configuration (thus being able to copy

We're pretty similar in a lot of ways. It's definitely a pain point, but from a UX perspective its tough to solve. In theory you could manage a lot of things with the API (most of our UI runs off the API these days). Even with the

Absolutely! We do have some support for Java, but its unfortunately heavily tied into Logging right now. Our short term goal is to at the very least ensure we have proper documentation (and support) for getting things up and running in Cloj

We're definitely going to be improving things like the dashboard (and organization dash). I do agree regarding better visibility into what the graphs represent, and we've opened an issue to track this: https://github.co

We do have a beacon that reports anonymous statistics to us as well as giving us an estimate on unique installations. That said, it's an optional feature, and its only in newer versions. One thing that is generally true is many compani

Our goal is the next 60 days, but the realist in me is saying "sometime this year". We have an ever changing list of things we want to accomplish still as part of the 8.0 push: https://github.com/getsentry/sen

We've been around for the better part of a decade and are completely open source (and free). Everything from our clients (which a lot of the community started) to every piece of the server. The only code you don't get access to is

We wanted to but nothing really handled tokenization well. In the end we wrote our own (which is why there are various caveats). For other things we're using select2. At one point we had tried to switch to selectize but we found limita

David from Sentry here. We're hoping to do a sort-of AMA in the future about rebuilding Sentry (and the open source approach), but if anyone has any questions about the new version I'm happy to answer them.
